Beyoncé drops out of Eastwood’s ‘Star is Born,’ reports say

Reports are swirling that Beyoncé won’t be starring in a remake of A Star is Born after all.

Sources tell Variety that the singer-actress has way too much on her plate already, and has exited the Clint Eastwood-led project, which has yet to have a start date. Warner Bros. wouldn’t comment to Variety. Also reporting Beyoncé’s exit online are CinemaBlend, and ScreenCrush.

Eastwood had reportedly delayed the project when Beyoncé gave birth to her first child, Blue Ivy, in January.

But the loss of the Houston-born superstar isn’t the only major challenge for the film.

Variety says the male lead is also an unknown. Several top actors have been linked to the film, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Bradley Cooper and Tom Cruise.

The original Star is Born was a big screen hit in the 1930s and it has already been reworked twice, with Judy Garland and James Mason in 1957 and Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson in 1976.
